!Client_Ex
==========

This is a demo program on how to code an interactive connection
between two hosts (in this case a simple clinet and Newsbase 0.54n)
by using system events amoungst other things.  Commands are issue
via the command window (opened by clicking on the iconbar) and the
server response is shown in the taskwindow (along with the command
send to the server).

NOTE this program was written with EasyC and a slightly modified !NetLib
library (that explicitly defined shorts in structs were 16 bit, not the
default 32 bit that Easy C usually defines shorts as).  You need desklib
v2.15 or later to recompile this program.

The code is commented for your entertainment.

Thanks to John Smith and Neil Clegg from whom i got the gist of how to
write an interactive client, and Tom Hughes for the internet stack in
the first place ;o)

Use this code as you feel fit - it doesnt do very much, anyway ;o)
